A geometric display sans with strongly sculpted forms and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Many letters are built from bold, blocky vertical stems paired with razor-thin horizontals and hairline joins, creating a crisp, cut-paper feel. Bowls and counters tend toward circular or semicircular shapes with sharply clipped terminals, and several characters show wedge-like notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins that sharpen corners and add rhythm. The lowercase keeps a tall, simplified structure; round letters (c, e, o) read as bold discs with delicate internal strokes, while verticals (l, i, n, m) lean into monolithic columns punctuated by thin details.
Best suited to large sizes where the thin strokes and interior cuts can stay clear: headlines, poster typography, title cards, and bold brand marks. It can also work for packaging or signage that benefits from a refined, vintage-leaning geometric voice, but it is less appropriate for long-form text or small UI sizes due to its dramatic contrast and dense shapes.
The overall tone is glamorous and theatrical, with a distinctly Deco-era sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and geometric construction give it a cinematic, headline-driven presence that feels both vintage and stylized rather than neutral or utilitarian. The sharp cuts and hairline accents add a slightly mischievous, showcard energy suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to reinterpret geometric sans forms with Deco-inspired glamour, using extreme massing and hairline accents to create a distinctive, logo-ready display texture. The consistent use of clipped terminals and cut-in notches suggests a focus on punchy silhouettes and a memorable, stylized rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
Spacing and internal detailing create a staccato rhythm: thick masses sit beside fine strokes, so the texture alternates between dense black shapes and delicate lines. The numerals follow the same sculptural logic, mixing heavy slabs and circular volumes with minimal, hairline connections for a consistent, display-first personality.
